A synergistic pair of multifocal diffractive ocular lenses

An assembly comprising a pair of multifocal ocular aphakic lenses to be worn simultaneously by a user, said lenses having a light transmissive lens body with an optical axis and a refractive baseline that extends over at least a part of the lens body, and a diffractive profile configured to operate as an optical wave splitter extending concentrically in radial direction, superpositioned onto at least one part of the refractive baseline wherein

• for both lenses, said diffractive profile is comprised in the central 4 millimeters without discontinuities, with useful diffractive orders on both sides of a 0th diffractive order,
• both lenses comprise a lowest usable diffraction order that provide far vision and a highest usable diffraction order that provides near vision;
• and,
• for both lenses the provided light intensity of the diffraction order corresponding to near vision is configured to be higher than that of any diffraction order in between the highest and lowest usable orders for lens apertures in the range of 2 to 3 millimeters.
